doma define marriage as between a man and a woman. today, it was all about california and prop 8. owe pony nentsz of that measure argue it violates the u.s. constitution as the right of all citizens to equal protection under the law. supporters argue that the state's voters have made their wishes known and the federal government should not interfere just as anthony kennedy is a possible swing vote here and he says prop 8 actually evenings a lot of kids. 40,000 children in california according to the -- that live with same sex parents. and they want their parents. to have full recognition and full status. >> he says the voice of those children is important. don't take too much away from that. history tells us that trying to predict the supreme court decisions is an exercise in futility shannon bream covers the supreme court for us. she is live there tonight. shannon, is there anything
4:03 pm
we can take away from what they said today? >> well, shepard, some, not all of the justices, certainly gave us clues as to where they stood on this issue of proposition 8 and whether or not california should only define marriage as between a man and a woman. proponents of that view say that marriage is a bedrock of our society all about protocol creation and raising children. well, justice kagan at one point said what does that mean? that we could stop issuing licenses to couples where both members of the couple are over 55? we don't think they are going to have kids. there was a lot of. [ laughter ] in the courtroom about that she was very serious when she got back to this point asking at one point what damage it would do to opposite sex or heterosexual sex marriages vs. allowing same sex marriages. here is what she said. >> what harm you see happening and when and how and what harm to the institution of marriage or to opposite sex couples, how does this cause and effect work? >> well, justice -- chief
4:04 pm
justice john roberts and number of other justices noted in california same sex couples have very expansive rights. why do they need this word marriage? why is it about the label? here is his comment on that. >> if you tell a child is that somebody has to be their friend. i suppose you can force the child to say this is my friend, but it changes the definition of what it means to be a friend. >> he seemed to be hinting that adding same sex marriage to the equation would be changing the definition of how we understand marriage. also important to note though there are serious procedural issues about the standing of the parties in this case. several justices hinted today that may actually stop them from even getting to the merits of this case, shep. >> shepard: there is a different case before them tomorrow. >> there is. tomorrow it's about federal law. the defense of marriage act. that brings on a whole different set of issues but we imagine it's going to be a lot like it was today. very strong protests and demonstrations for folks on both sides. thousands of people were here this morning. we expect the same spirit. but tomorrow is going to be about a federal law versus
4:05 pm
what they decided today about california's state passed law that was passed by voters. dome marks of course, passed by congress. the folk 's here across the street we expect to see many of them in the courtroom. by the way those infamous lines that started up last thursday night. as soon as able was cleared out of line today they started up again. it's going to be a cold night in d.c. and there are a lot of people camped out on the streets waiting for that line to get in tomorrow, shep. >> shepard: shannon bream beautiful night at the court. thank you. also sitting in court today the two couples had began this legal fight some four years ago. chris perry and sandy stirl have been together for 13 years now. sent two kids to college. have two still in high school. they were among the first to legally marry in california before the state invalidated that marriage. the other couple challenging prop 8 paul katomy and jeff. they say they wanted to get married before starting a family. and if you would like to listen to today's arguments in their entirety, we have posted the entire audio online. it's now on the front page
4:06 pm
at foxnews.com. well, we saw a direct challenge today to roe v. wade, the landmark supreme court case that legalized abortion. the governor of north dakota signed a law prohibit abortions if doctors can detect the fetal heart beat that's as many asics weeks in. legalized abortional fetus can survive outside the womb. arkansas has pass the abortion ban linked to fetal heart beats only 12 weeks. legislators in ohio and kansas are considering similar laws. north dakota's is the most restrictive in our nation. the governor there also signed into law two other measures, one that makes his state the first to ban borings based on genetic defects and another that requires doctors who perform abortions to be physicians with hospital privileges. >> all three laws take effect in august but opponents have promised a fierce legal fight. a dramatic and heart breaking turn of events for amanda knox today. the seattle college student
4:07 pm
acquitted of murdering her roommate during what italian prosecutors called a drug fueled sex game. italy's top court today overturned the acquittal and ordered that foxy knoxy face a retrial for the now unsolved crime. you recall amanda knox served four years in italian prison before an appeals court freed her in 2011. she has been living in the seattle area ever since and is now a junior at the university of washington. but prosecutors convinced a court that there was enough today retry amanda knox for the death of meredith kircher. they found her dead in an apartment that she shared with knox. his client is devastated by the turn of events. >> she is shocked. she is very sad. she thought this was the end of a nightmare. and but she is also very strong in the sense that she with s. willing to fight again. she did all of this up to now. we will continue to fight. >> it's important to note that ha manda knox does not have to return to italy for
4:08 pm
the trial. and if the court does find her guilty. extradition is seen as very unlikely. but her ex still lives there and faces returning to prison for decades should he he once again lose in court. dan springer is live in amanda knox hometown of seattle this evening. dan, a reporter asked about the state department involvement in this. >> yeah, right after questions about -- spokesman asked if the state department face double double jeopardy and final would not answer the question directly. i spoke with two attorneys who represented her and her family both are confident the u.s. would not cooperate with italy if she is convicted in what amounts to a third murder trial which we're told will take place july of 2011. never thought italy's highest court would order a retrial prosecutors were
4:09 pm
not allowed to retest the evidence the d.n.a. evidence was thrown out by the appellate court. >> painful to receive the news that the italian supreme court decided to send my case back to revision. for revision when the prosecution's theory of my involvement in meredith's murder has been completely revealed to be unfounded and unfair. all of this means revival of the foxy knoxy story and it comes just a month before she gives her first interview to diane sawyer on the same day her book "waiting to be heard" comes out neglect her $4 million. shep? >> shepard: dan springer live in seattle. thanks. for the first time a woman is is going to be running the u.s. secret service. the president has chosen julian pearson to head up the agency. she a veteran agent and the current chief of staff. the current director recently announced his

4:30 pm
hour. time for the top of the news. and the united states' supreme court considering two major changes and two cases on gay marriage. today, as demonstrators marched outside the justices heard arguments on california wants proposition 8. it bans gay marriage in the state. the justices question whether they should actually be deciding the case, which raises the possibility they could dismiss it with no ruling. legal experts say that would likely allow gay marriages to resume in california without affecting the law in other states. tomorrow, the court scheduled to hear arguments on the defense of marriage act as they call it which defines marriage as a union between only one man and one woman. nine states plus d.c. currently allow gay marriage. the latest fox news poll finds 49% of voters support gay marriage, up from 32% a decade ago. a lot of lawmakers have shifted their attitudes as well. evolved in their opinions. james rosen with the top story at the bottom of the hour. live from washington. hey, james. >> shep, we have seen two
4:31 pm
notable instances recently of republicans grappling with this issue. senator rob portman of ohio, coupled his announcement that he now supports same sex marriage with the disclosure that his son, a student at yale university is gay. and senator rand paul of kentucky says that while he believes in the traditional definition of marriage, republicans should as a matter of libertarian principle as he puts it embrace liberty in both the economic and the personal sphere. on the democratic side is there has been a domino effect with hillary clinton and a number of senators including mark bag given of alaska, mark warner of virginia and clair mccaskill embracing the marriage equality. late today another joining that list. a trio of democratic senators all of whom face midterm kay hagan of north carolina, mark pryor of arkansas and mary landrieu have been reticent on the issue all hail from red states. in some cases i think democrats, as well as republicans, find that they
4:32 pm
have issues of faith that may come into clash with this eamericaing movement for marriage equality. but, i think what we need to point out to everybody is that gay rights advocates, myself included, only want to be married civilly. >> also, many members of two core elements of the democratic party's constituency remains skeptical about gay marriage. these include african-americans who tend to be more culturally conservative and devoutly catholic that lateen knows, shep. >> shepard: james rosen in washington. the high court did rule on one issue today. the drug sniffing dogs. cops do need a warrant to have those dogs sniff around the outside of somebody's home. even if they suspect there are drugs inside the place. the decision upholds a 2011 florida supreme court ruling which expresses evidence that frankie the chocolate lab had helped uncover. in a different florida case, the court ruled last month in favor of cops who used a dog to search a man's pickup truck during a routine traffic stop. the united nations is
4:33 pm
scheduled to draft a controversial international treaty this week that would attempt to end unregulated sales of conventional weapons. guns, are a till larr nonnuclear missiles it would infringe on our rights to bear arms. i should say negotiators from about 150 nations are expected to take part in this debate. supporters of the treaty claim arms embargoes against certain rogue nations don't work and that a blanket treaty is necessary to prevent weapons from moving easily across borders. secretary of state john kerry says he cannot promise the u.s. supreme court should the treaty impose new limits on the second amendment. eric shawn at the u.n. tonight. eric, help us understand this controversy. >> yeah, shepard. they are still negotiating the u.n. arms trade treaty in gun advocates are up arms about it they fear it could lead to international gun control and governments regulating the weapons in their countries. for example, they point to one aspect of it that demands that governments list all the weapons in their nations. they fear that this could
4:34 pm
lead to a national gun registry and that it conflicts with our second amendment in the constitution. the national rifle association has been lobbying strongly against this treaty. they say that it violates americans' country rights and they say this treaty should not be approved. shepard? >> shepard: what are we hearing from supporters, eric? >> they say it's desperately needed, especially in areas of international conflict such as somalia and other troubled spots. those areas are just flooded with an untold number of weapons from tanks to handguns and that is one way to stop the killing. they say that concerns over domestic issues here in the u.s. are unfounded and not deal with private gun ownership. and, besides, for to go into effect in our country. it needs to be ratified by the senate by a two thirds majority and that likely won't happen because just this weekend the senate passed an amendment that specifically prohibits this treaty from going into effect in the united states and from the u.s. from signing on to it. it is expected to be voted
4:35 pm
on, shepard, later this week. >> shepard: eric shawn live at the united nations, thanks. north carolina's military is in top combat decision tonight. its rockets ready to strike. that's the word from north carolina's state run news agency. just the latest threat out of that hermit kingdom. of course, analysts say it's extremely unlikely that north carolina would actually try that especially with the united states carrying out joint military drills with south carolina for the next month or so. still, pelc officials say the rhetoric does not help. north korean state run media has also released new pictures of dennis rodman's bff looking at things. inspecting an army unit and instruments the troops apparently made. remember this all comes weeks after north carolina tour up its 1953 cease-fire with south carolina. trend to nuke washington and warned its troops are prepared for all-out war. trace gallagher in our west coast news hub tonight. you know. these threats seem to be coming every day. >> yeah, even the experts who will acknowledge that north korea has lost all
4:36 pm
credibility, shep, because of these empty threats, well now say there seems a little something different about this one because in recent months, north korea has been so provocative. you mentioned the armistice they cancelled with south korea but they have also successfully fired a long range missile in december. and tested a third nuclear weapon just last month. gordon chang who has written books about north korea believes there is some internal turmoil. listen. >> that's the real problem for us. this is not just a single threat where the regime makes it and then goes quiet. what we have now is one problem after another. and that really means something was wrong in the regime and when something is wrong in the regime we are going to see who horrific incident somewhere down the road. he adds while north carolina doesn't have great long range weapons. they have short high alert. >> south korea says right
4:37 pm
now there are no aggressive signs along the border. but any attack on south korea, even a small one, would be considered to be destabilizing that korean peninsula and that would likely lead to a response from both south korea and the united states. now, the level of that response is very unclear. but today both the pentagon and the white house are calling on north korea to back off. here is jay carney. >> as we say consistently the achieve nothing by these threats or provocations which will only further isolate north korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in northeast asia. >> north korea is believed to have attacked south korea twice in the past three years. neither of those attacks was preceded by any type of threat. shep? >> trace gallagher reporting from los angeles. the pentagon today denied that the united states military has been training syrian rebels. the military. we reported yesterday that the training had been going on for at least 8 months. but today the pentagon
4:38 pm
spokesman said that's not the case. quote: let me be very clear. the united states military is not conducting training of the syrian opposition. we are working closely with our jordanian partners on training. no element of the united states military is involved in training syrian opposition groups. the white house says the united states continues to provide nonlethal assistance to the opposition. the cia notably declined to comment. meanwhile syrians opposition for the first time took over the country's seat at the arab league summit. happened in qatar where member states agreed they do have the right to provide military support to the rebels. the syrian government blasted the arab league's decision. claiming it is selling out arab identity to israel and the united states. >> a man who has seen his share of bad breaks got a mighty lucky ones when it mattered the most. the story behind this man's power ball ball win up next. smokers who gamble just hit a big lotto in atlantic city.
